Nothing reflects the beauty of the seasons better than a national park. From snow-capped mountains to glistening streams to hillsides bursting with color, every time of year at a national park offers something special and breathtaking to behold.
So, when to go? If you loathe jam-packed parking lots and crowds, plan your trip during the early fall or late spring. Summer, which is extremely popular for family vacations, is understandably the busiest time of year. If you absolutely have to travel during the summer, try to plan your visit earlier or later in the season to avoid the peak. As for the serene natural beauty of wintertime, be sure to check ahead to make sure the park is still open. Some close during winter to accommodate heavy snowfall.
Yet another beautiful thing about nature? It's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Natural areas of national parks usually are, too. In fact, fees are only collected during peak seasons and peak hours. Historic and information buildings typically run 9-5 hours, and can vary from park to park and season to season.

I haven't seen the NYC center in person, but it is likely that the hardware here is the Microsoft Surface. They are starting to show up in various places. The lobby of a Chicago Marriott has one, for example.
This is one piece of tech that really can change the way we play on tabletops!
Almost all traditional games could use a multitouch surface.
Imagine minis with markers that the table can track. Imagine all the functions of a VTT with actual face-to face gaming and rl props.
Were gonna be telling stories to our grandchildren of how we used to mess about with actual physical char-sheets, counters and paper maps...
You know that there are several examples of people using MapTool in face-to-face sessions and using minis and even one guy is doing some awesome stuff with styrofoam.
Here is a link to that particular thread: http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6476 (Hmm... there appears to be a problem with the images right now so check back in a bit to see if they are up)
I posted this a while back now...

That thread I linked to shows the projector mount and such, but honestly the cool part is how the foam comes into play. It gives you the 3D aspects with a 2D image.
If anyone is interested the pictures are back up. Take a look if you haven't had a chance. Should give you some ideas to try.
Cheers RP - I cant quite figure out the purpose of the Moose Head tho ;P
I got mailed some links today about pocket projectors. Apparently these are the new latest gadget. I think the quality of image right now is not so good but you can see how this is going to become big and you can take this to a game session without a huge iron stand etc.
Theres a video on one of the sites with it running. Its impressive by some standards and in other ways not. Just give it a bit more R&D and these will be well cool. We will have to think up ways to incorporate these into the flow next.
Saw a chap on EnWorld about to make a super game table with projector and multitouch interface. Has he gone with MapTool yet or still deciding. Anyway - that would be worth looking at too.
I like the idea of the polystyrene but I think if your going to the effort of cutting it out so carefully and specifically then why not just build a model. The idea is good tho. Maybe somebody can make some styrene blocks which fit together into multiple shapes like Lego or thick jigsaw bits and then reuse them again. Then project onto them for the final color image.

If you have ever seen the EZ- series of paper models, I think they fit well with the idea of a modular system. They basically skip over the whole projection idea, but if you were to create just solid white versions of the various shapes and project onto them I think you would have an awesome hybrid environment to play on.

Contemporary Chicago artists will interpret the work of The Bard across a range of artistic mediums in "Chicago Artists Interpret Shakespears As They Like It." The new exhibit will take place through January 4, 2013, at the Ferguson Gallery at Concordia University Chicago.
"Ophelia's Dream – 8 Hours, 2 Models" by Eleanor Spiess-Ferris
"Chicago Artists Interpret Shakespeare As They Like It" contains works by 22 established Chicago area artists in almost all media and a wide range of styles, demonstrating that the poetry and magic of Shakespeare's great works continue to remain relevant to artists of today. The exhibition is not only meant for Shakespeare lovers, it is also designed to inspire those unfamiliar with the writer to discover his works.
The exhibition is a smaller version of the original exhibition of 39 artists shown at the Beverly Arts Center, which included paintings, drawings, prints, fabric, ceramic, and sculpture in various media. Betty Ann Mocek, Gallery Director of Ferguson Art Gallery, selected the works for this exhibit from the original as ones that would particularly pique the interest of the university community. Some of the works are highly realistic depictions of Shakespeare's themes, some illustrative and fanciful, others semi-abstract.
"Light Being Speaking in Tongues," by Mario Castillo "Arden Camouflage" by Charlotte Segal
Initially curated by artist Anne Farley Gaines with the help of artists and assistant curators Robert Kameczura and Maureen Warren, this exhibit includes art devoted to portraying Shakespeare's most noted soliloquies, scenes, poetry, and characters. The exhibiting artists at Concordia-Chicago are:, Mario Castillo, Laura Coyle, Michael Ferris, Jonathan Franklin, Anne Farley Gaines, Jan Spivey Gilchrist, Fletcher Hayes, Robert Kameczura, Deborah Maris Lader, Kim Laurel, Richard Laurent, Diane Levesque, James Mesple, Geoffrey Novelli, Christine O'Connor, Charlotte Segal, Steven Sherrell, Eleanor Spiess-Ferris, Frank Tumino, MaureenWarren, Marzena Ziejka and Jill Zylke.
The Ferguson Art Gallery is located in Kretzmann Hall at Concordia University Chicago, 7400 Augusta St., River Forest. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, call 708-209-3013.

Microsoft is among several larger tech companies who pushed for the change to "first to file" -- but what will the Act's passage really mean for the tech industry (and patents in general)? Patent attorney Carlos A. Fisher walks through the potential impact.
On Friday, President Obama signed into law the "America Invents Act," which changes the U.S. patent system to a "first to file" system, among other changes. Microsoft is one of many supporters of the change, arguing that it would speed up the patent process, among other benefits.
But what will the new Act really mean for technology patents, innovation and inventors? We asked Carlos A. Fisher, a patent and trademark attorney with Stout, Uxa Buyan & Mullins, LLP in Irvine, Calif., to break down the changes and share his opinion on its real impact -- which, in some cases, he predicts, won't be exactly what advocates of the act have been stating.
Redmondmag.com: Under the "America Invents Act," will certain patent holders and applicants benefit over others?
Patent, trademark and copyright attorney Carlos A. Fisher of Stout, Uxa, Buyan & Mullins in Irvine, Calif..
Fisher: Yes; while the Act contains some provisions that affect everyone relatively equally, the Act clearly favors large corporations, particularly those in the financial services, software and pharmaceutical industries, over smaller companies and start-ups.
As one example, the Act expands the Prior Use defense to patent infringement to apply to all inventions (it was previously limited to business method patent claims) in a manner that encourages those with sufficient R & D resources -- generally, large companies -- to discover, document, use in an "internal commercial use," and maintain as a trade secret new methods and/or materials producing a "useful end result" which can then be sold or transferred with impunity. If a patent application claiming the new methods and/or materials is filed a more than a year later by another entity, and issues as a patent, this prior internal commercialization, or the transfer or sale of the end result, is immune from patent infringement, and is protected thereafter so long as it is continuously performed.
Many provisions of the Act also directly or indirectly result in additional costs which can disproportionately affect smaller companies or individuals with smaller patenting budgets; for example, there is an immediate 15 percent increase in patent office fees; the new statute requires even greater diligence (and resultant additional surveillance cost) within relatively short deadlines after publication and/or patenting in order to uncover and protect the company against patenting and derivation activity by competitors and business partners. It seems obvious that larger companies (for example, those in the software and pharmaceutical/biotechnology areas) are in a better position to expend additional resources on these activities than are smaller companies or start-ups.
The "America Invents Act" changes include a "first inventor to file" rule, replacing the "first to invent" rule. How will this affect inventors filing preliminary patent applications in the United States?
Carlos A. Fisher: Basically, the Act instigates a "first to file" rule -- with the caveat that if the person(s) filing the application derived the claimed invention from one or more other persons who later file a patent application containing the same or substantially the same claim, the inventorship of the first application can be contested through a newly enacted Derivation Proceeding, if it is brought by the second applicant within one year following the first publication of the patent or application containing the derived claim.
However, in the majority of cases (e.g., if there is no derivation issue), the America Invents Act implements a "first to file" rule, and I would strongly advise clients to regard the Act in that manner, and to promptly perform a prior art search and, if the invention appears to be patentable, file a patent application before taking any other action, particularly before using, disclosing, selling or offering the invention for sale. Thus, the rule should be "file first" as well as "first to file."
Microsoft is one of the backers of the current "America Invents Act" legislation. What's the legal industry/corporate perception about the need for U.S. patent reforms? Is the impetus coming from specific industries? Why is Congress amending the law?
Fisher: Patent lawyers were somewhat divided on whether U.S. patent laws should be made more in harmony with the "first to file" procedure used by almost every other country in the world, although in principle I suspect most support this change. The Act has not accomplished this harmonization in a straightforward or unambiguous way. For example, it is not clear whether a prior use or offer for sale of an invention by an inventor or joint inventor within a year of the date of filing would be render the invention unpatentable. This practice, under which inventors may test, fine-tune, and improve their inventions prior to investing in filing a patent application, is often used by smaller entities under the old law. Under the literal language of the new law, the former grace period is no longer available, although courts will need to address and clarify this issue.
The Act has been the subject of major lobbying efforts in the House and Senate, particularly by large corporations. Those in support of the Act include organizations representing large financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies and large companies in the software and IS community (a partial list of company members of lobbying organizations supporting the Act includes the Financial Services Roundtable (a group that represents 100 of the biggest U.S. banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions); General Electric, Caterpillar, IBM, BP, Dow Chemical, Motorola, PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble). The Actwas opposed by the National Small Business Association, which called it "strongly titled in favor of large incumbent corporations."
The Act was not supported by a collation of younger large companies including companies such as Apple, Dell, eBay, Google, Oracle and Yahoo; although they supported the Act's change to "first to file" they were under the impression that the Act's changes to the patent dispute process would "increase the time and money spent on lawsuits that could be spent on the development of new technology."
Certain provisions of the Act clearly favor particular industries. For example, Section 18 of the Act provides an invalidation procedure for certain "financial products or services" business method patents that are otherwise valid (and which may have been otherwise litigated) by creating special categories of prior art and review procedures, applicable only to these patents.
Among intellectual property attorneys (and most clients) the greatest issue requiring Congressional action has been the delay in obtaining a patent due to a backlog of pending patent applications. IP attorneys have long been concerned that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) backlog -- now at an average of 34 months across all technologies (and longer for certain technologies) -- only appears to be increasing. Although the Act sets up a reserve fund of patent office fees collected in excess of its budget that the USPTO may access, under the Act the USPTO will have to specifically ask Congress before it can spend the money.
Unfortunately, traditionally much of the money generated by the USPTO (which is self-supporting) is funneled by Congress to other projects, and Congress defeated amendments to the Act that would have prevented such "fee diversion." The Act creates new bureaucracies within the Office, burdens already overworked existing Office personnel (e.g., Administrative Patent Judges) with additional duties and creates for the foreseeable future a dual system using the old patent laws for some patent applications under certain circumstances and the new patent laws for other patent applications under other circumstances. I do not foresee that the Act will serve the goal of accelerating the patenting process for the average applicant in the near future, if at all, without addressing fee diversion.
How much did it cost to file a preliminary patent application under the previous system, and how much for a formal application? How have those costs shifted with the new act?
Fisher: Under the old law, there was a two-tier system for USPTO fees; one for "large entities" and one for "small entities." Generally, small entities are universities, non-profits, and those companies or organizations with less than 500 employees. The small entity fee is 50 percent of the large entity fee.
Therefore, the previous fee for filing a provisional application under 100 pages was $220 for a large entity and $110 for a small entity; the fee for filing a non-provisional ("regular") application containing up to 100 pages, up to 20 claims and no more than three independent claims was $1090 for a large entity and $545 for a small entity.
Under the Act there is an immediate 15 percent increase in all fees, including these. Also, a third category of "micro-entities" has been created (receiving a 75 percent reduction in fees) for applicants employed by or under an obligation of assignment to an institution of higher learning.
Furthermore, the USPTO is granted "fee-setting" authority under the Act, and these basic fees may very well change (they usually increase) in the near future.
How long does it currently take for a formal patent application to get approval from the United States Patent and Trademark Office? Do you foresee this process speeding up, as Act proponents say?
Fisher: As indicated above, today the average patent is granted about 34 months after a non-provisional patent application is filed. However, for some technologies the wait is much longer.
The backlog is largely caused by a shortage of qualified patent examiners in view of the number of patent applications filed annually. Moreover, as stated previously, the problem is exacerbated by Congress' appropriation and diversion of patent fees collected by the USPTO; over $750 million since 1992. This fee diversion has crippled the USPTO's efforts to hire new examiners and to grow the patent examining corps, leading to the over 1.2 million patent applications currently filed and awaiting grant.
The Act does contain mechanisms that are supposed to accelerate patent application examination and grant. For example, under the Act, an applicant can obtain Prioritized Examination (already available as a limited pilot program) in which grant could occur within a year or so after filing. The initial cost of requesting Prioritized Examination is $4,800 in addition to the regular filing fees for a small or large entity – to date the Office indicates that a small entity discount is not available for this procedure. I believe large corporations are more likely to regularly use this procedure than small entities or start-ups.
Also, without the USPTO's ability to keep the revenues it generates to hire new examiners I do not anticipate that the patent backlog will be appreciably reduced in the near future without further legislation. This appears to be particularly true in light both of the anticipated "bubble" of new patent applications to be filed between the date of enactment and the first effective date of the "first inventor to file" provisions 18 months thereafter, and the new post-grant review procedures which will strain the Office's manpower resources even further.
Some have argued that software patents should be disallowed entirely because they are mental processes or business processes, and not true inventions. The U.S. Supreme Court spoke on this issue in its June 2010 Bilski v. Kappos decision. Did the court's Bilski decision clarify the matter?
Fisher: Not much. The Bilski Court ruled that, at least in principle, business method patents are patentable subject matter under the definitions of "processes" and "methods" found in 35 U.S.C. §100, and that under 35 USC §273 "federal law explicitly contemplates the existence of at least some business method patents."
However, the Court rejected as the "sole test" of patentability the previously used "machine-or-transformation" test, under which the claimed invention is tested for patentability by determining if the process can either be tied to a tangible machine or apparatus or whether it involves a transformation of a particular article into a different state or thing. At the same time, though, the Supreme Court found that the machine-or-transformation test remains "a useful and important clue...for determining whether some claimed inventions are processes under § 101." This ambiguity is singularly unhelpful to practitioners, applicants and competitors alike. The Court did not propose other tests by which patentable subject matter of business method patents can be determined; these will have to be developed by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (or the Supreme Court) in subsequent appeals.
Finally, the Supreme Court already upheld three previously existing judicially created exceptions to patentability: laws of nature, physical phenomena and abstract ideas. Thus "abstract ideas" alone, without more, are already and have been unpatentable for some time. Indeed, in the issue before the court, the Court ruled that Bilski's claims were not patentable because they were an "abstract idea."
Thus the waters for business method patents are somewhat murky. However, a skilled patent attorney can endeavor to ensure at the patent application and claim preparation stage that the claimed invention is not presented to the USPTO as an abstract idea.
What is the post-grant review procedure as proposed under the Act? Why should patents be reviewed if the USPTO approved them? Are there such things as "bad patents"?
Fisher: Taking your last question first, even after a patent issues it may be found to be either unenforceable or invalid. This can occur for various reasons; for example, if a patent attorney or applicant intentionally deceived the USPTO when procuring the patent (e.g., by failing to identify material prior art), or if the examiner misapplied the law. It can also occur if an item of material prior art, not previously known to the applicant or patent attorney, is found after the patent is granted.
Prior art may be in any language and published or otherwise disclosed in any country of the world, and a thorough prior art search can cost many thousands (or even tens of thousands) of dollars. For this reason, a patent applicant (particularly an individual or small company) will therefore generally perform a limited patentability search -- for example a search of U.S. patents and published U.S. and/or International patent applications. This type of search is often sufficient, depending on the publishing customs and practices of the technology area at issue; this search is unlikely to uncover foreign language scientific or technical papers concerning the subject matter of the patent application that, if they exist, could be material prior art.
By contrast, an entity having a business or large business sector at stake if or when a patent infringement lawsuit was filed, particularly a large company, has an incentive to expend the necessary funds to perform a more thorough prior art search in the hopes of uncovering material prior art to use against the patent.
Patents are already commonly reviewed for invalidity -- and sometimes actually invalidated -- in litigation; there is clearly a public interest in preventing invalid patents from stifling innovation. There is also currently an administrative post-grant procedure within the USPTO (inter partes reexamination) that allows a third party to challenge a patent by alleging that there is a "substantial new question of patentability" pertaining to at least one claim of the patent. However in a reexamination, the petition may only be granted on the basis of 35 U.S.C. §§102 or 103, that is, due to prior art.
The new post grant review (PGR) provisions of the Act permit a challenger to file a petition for PRG within nine months after the issue of the patent. Unlike inter partes reexamination, the PGR is conducted with depositions and discovery and is like a mini-trial. The challenger must provide evidence showing that "is more likely than not that at least one challenged claim is unpatentable." Any ground for patent invalidity may be used; e.g., prior art, lack of written description or lack of enablement, but not failure to comply with the best mode requirement, which is no longer a ground for defeating a patent under the Act. The Act contains sanctions against filing a frivolous petition for PGR, and the patentee may have their attorneys' fees paid by the challenger if a frivolous in such a case. Also, the Act contains incentives for the parties to reach a settlement. A decision on a Post Grant Review is to be rendered within 18 months after a petition is granted.
Personally, I would have favored a post-grant opposition similar to that used by the European Patent Office rather than the PGR process of the Act. Oppositions are somewhat less formal, costly and complex, and more than one opposing party may participate in and make arguments at an oral opposition hearing.
What is false patent marking and how pervasive is the problem? Would the Act reduce qui tam lawsuits?
Fisher: False patent marking refers to the requirements of 35 U.S.C. §292. This statute prohibits anyone from marking a product as patented with the intent to deceive the public and "and inducing them to believe that the thing was made, offered for sale, sold, or imported into the United States by or with the consent of the patentee." This provision prevents a competitor from palming off their product as having been authorized by the patentee when it has not.
However, Section 292 also prevents the use of the words "patent" or a word or number indicating that an article is patented on an unpatented article, or the use of the words "patent pending" or the like when a patent application is not pending, for the purpose of deceiving the public.
The problem arises when either: a patent expires and the patentee fails through oversight to promptly remove the "patented" label from the previously patented article; or, similarly, when a patent application was filed and is later abandoned while the article continues to be labeled "patent pending." A "purpose of deceiving the public" must usually be inferred, since there is rarely direct evidence of intent. However, a recent Federal Circuit decision indicated that a rebuttable presumption of intent to deceive is created when a manufacturer prints expired patent numbers on its products with knowledge that the patents are expired. If the manufacturer cannot rebut this presumption with evidence, it is possible that intent will be found to be present.
Section 292 levies a fine of up to $500 for "every such offense." Recent court decisions have interpreted this latter phrase to mean "for each mislabeled product." Since §292 permits any person to file a qui tam action -- to sue on behalf of the U.S. Government for the penalty and to keep 50 percent of any award, with the U.S. Government obtaining the other 50 percent-- this provided a powerful incentive for individuals to potentially obtain a substantial award.
The Act has solved this problem by providing that:
The Act also addresses the expiration of patents and the labeling of products sold after such expiration by permitting a product or label to contain a URL to a Web site on which the marking is provided; this has the advantage of being instantly updatable and effective for products already in the market as well as ones under production.
The U.S. Constitution specifically described patent rights for inventors. What was the intent then, and has it shifted over the years?
Fisher: The U.S. Constitution's Patent/Copyright Clause Art. 1, Section 8 states:
The Congress shall have power...[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
The Congress shall have power...[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
Thus, the Constitutional intent is stated in the clause: "[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts." It was thought by the Founding Fathers that patents provide an incentive to innovate, and that the publication of patents (at least following their grant) provides scientific and technological fodder for other inventors to build upon.
I believe this Constitutional intent remains the intent of Congress. I also think that Congress believes that the innovation leading to patents will stimulate the national economy. However, as with many other things, the devil is in the details, including such mundane but important considerations as adequate funding of the USPTO, and balancing the interests of the various stakeholders involved to be consistent with this intent.
I believe the Act provides additional incentives for already well established companies to carefully develop a patenting strategy and to avail themselves of the full spectrum of tools available in the U.S. patent system. However, I do fear that there may not be sufficient incentive in the Act (without further Congressional action) to permit entrepreneurs, small businesses, and venture capitalists to fully exploit the patent system while growing a business in the current financial climate. Unfortunately, the present economic climate is exactly one in which innovation is most needed, and this business sector depends more upon patents for its capitalization than any other. I therefore hope that Congress sees the passage of the Act as only a first step towards necessary patent reform, and continues to take action to fund the USPTO adequately so as to promote the progress of science and increase the economic value of inventions as a whole.

Microsoft faces antitrust issues for years with release of Microsoft 8 and UEFI. They think they can shut out the linux community and google which is based on linux but they can't. Microsoft is abouth to face the biggest legal debate of its lifetime!
President Obama certainly made a difference in the passage of this bill, in the process also significantly raising the profile of the patent world and its issues. It's too bad that Congress didn't do its part by enacting the bill that almost everyone else wanted -- one that would have ended the diversion of USPTO fees to the legislature. But then, I guess that's what happens when you let foxes guard the henhouse.

Thank you, Reader for the alert to the typo; which will be corrected; it should read "$220 for a large entity".
With regard to provisional applications, these are not examined and indeed seem to be rarely looked at by the examiners to determine the priority date of claims. However, the law is unambiguous: a simple "white paper" that fails to provide an adequate written description and sufficient enablement of the claimed invention in the later non-provisional application does not support the earlier priority date and a resulting patent, if it issues could be invalidated by an accused infringer if there is intervening material prior art.
...was $22 for a large entity and $110 ...
should be:
...was $220 for a large entity and $110 ...
One barrier to limiting the number of relevant references, the cost of a non-provisional, will result in junk provisional filings, some of which are simple white papers.
Examiners today rarely look at an earlier filed provisional to see if the earlier spec. supports the claims. How are these provisional applications going to be indexed?
A quick read of this article suggests that the act slightly increases the chances and ways in which a patent can be invalidated, and makes it slightly harder to get new patents.
For those (like myself) that believe that software patents are inherently evil, this seems like a (tiny!) change for the better.

Improving quality and saving money with NICE guidance
The NHS is being asked to focus on ensuring quality care whilst at the same time planning for a challenging financial situation. The NHS Confederation suggests that a fundamental look at how the service runs is required, focussing on quality and process improvement and the adoption of evidence based best practice. [Dealing with the downturn, NHS Confederation].
Improving quality will often improve patient safety and generally enhances patient experience. This can all deliver cost savings. As part our contribution to supporting the NHS in these new, challenging circumstances, we have produced a list of what we estimate to be cost saving guidance .
Any service review will provide a good opportunity to check compliance with NICE guidelines. Some of our guidance will have financial implications so when implementing guidance organisations need:
- effective financial planning to make the best use of available resources
- good links between finance, staff, clinicians, implementers and commissioners
The Audit Commission report "Managing the financial implications of NICE guidance" recommends that organisations should:
- develop a sustainable approach to financial planning
- use horizon scanning to identify forthcoming guidance
- systematically cost the impact of implementing guidance
How NICE supports financial planning
NICE supports the financial planning process by providing:
- costing tools that indicate the national estimated cost of implementing NICE guidance and support estimating the local cost. Read more about costing tools.
- a forward planner (updated monthly) to assist with horizon scanning and includes estimates of cost where available. Read more about the forward planner.
Payment by results
Payment by results (PbR) is a transparent, rule-based system for paying provider organisations. It aims to:
- reward efficiency
- support patient choice and diversity
- encourage sustainable waiting time reductions
PbR uses a tariff that is based on past reference costs. The tariff currency is the healthcare resource group (HRG). HRGs are standard groupings of clinically similar treatments, which use common levels of healthcare resource.
Read more about PbR on the Department of Health website.
Managing the financial impact of NICE guidance
The cost of implementing recently published NICE guidance is not included in the reference costs. To ensure the PbR tariff is sufficient, NICE and the Department of Health's tariff setting team identify the impact of the guidance and adjust the tariff accordingly.
NICE guidance may have an impact by:
- Changing activity levels at tariff rates.
For example, recommending that hysterectomy should not be used as a first-line treatment solely for heavy menstrual bleeding is predicted to reduce the number of hysterectomies undertaken. This should be reflected in activity levels in service level agreements or contracts, but has no impact on the tariff.
- Changing the cost of providing particular services.
For example, recommending a more expensive device be used in an operation that is coded to an HRG. The change in costs should be reflected in the tariff for that HRG.
- Changing the cost of providing services unrelated to specific services.
For example, the cost of nutrition guidance affects all outpatient referrals and admitted patients. This would require an annual uplift across the whole tariff.
- Affecting services and activity not currently covered by PbR.
For example, high cost chemotherapy drugs or mental health services. Commissioners should use the cost template and local knowledge to calculate the financial implications, and agree changes to service level agreements or contracts for non-PbR activity.
The forward planner includes comments on how guidance may affect PbR.

Last year after launching its PayPass Wallet (now rebranded MasterPass) MasterCard discovered that consumers who had already adopted mobile payments solutions had much less affection for the wallet solution than those who had never used mobile payments before. The card company found that only 58% of early mobile payments adopters liked the product, compared to 76% of non-adopters. MasterCard found this out thanks to a social media monitoring tool called Conversation Suite that it developed with Prime Research, a marketing research organization, according to a story published earlier this week on clickz.com, a marketing news site.
[See Related: American Express Tops FI Social Media Report]
The Conversation Suite allows MasterCard to monitor social media and blog posts, as well as traditional online media, and respond to those conversations, Marcy Cohen, vie president and senior business leader of MasterCard's worldwide communications team, said in the story. MasterCard employees follow online posts about MasterCard on the Conversation Suite's 40-foot LED screen at MasterCard's headquarters, according to the report.
Conversation Suite has discovered that over the past six months 125,000 people have created unique posts or tweets about MasterCard, , according to Cohen. Those have in turn led to 520,000 social media conversations that could reach up to 1.3 billion people. Conversation Suite is able to monitor these conversations in 43 different markets and in 26 different languages in real-time, she added.
MasterCard rebranded its wallet solution at Mobile World Congress last February. It found out about the lack of enthusiasm about the product among mobile payments adopters heading into the event and quickly changed its marketing at the conference to address the concerns it found among those early adopters. "We quickly realized there was some confusion around what this product was going to be and how it would differ from Google Wallet. People were also concerned about safety and security," MasterCard's Cohen said in the story. The communications team at MasterCard created a FAQ for the product tailored to the questions being asked on social media and offered one-on-one briefings about the product to the most influential tweeters.
"We were really proactive in the conversation and dominated share-of-voice among all of our competitors, both in traditional and social media."" Cohen said.

Dropped in 20 bucks
I got to say, this kickstarter went pretty good. Hopefully it will all go to a good use, since the game looks quite promising (nice and gritty, with a little of Warhammer vibe mixed in).

RESTful Java Web Framework
The idea is simple - to make a RESTful XML API available in a browser-friendly format renderable with XSL stylesheets. With ReXSL you develop your web application as a RESTful "web service" while XSL stylesheets transform it to an HTML web site.
The diagram explains how components are connected to each other. It is a classic Model-view-controller (MVC) pattern, where JAXB POJOs play a role of a Model. JAX-RS resources are Controllers. Stylesheets with a powerful XSL 2.0 language are Views.
You should be familiar with Java 6, Groovy, Apache Maven, XML, XSL 2.0, XPath 2.0, XML Schema, JAX-RS 2.0, JAXB 2, Java Servlet API, REST, HATEOAS, HTTP 1.1, TDD. If any of these technologies are new for you - ReXSL won't work. However, we strongly recommend to learn them.
These are the reasons why you should consider ReXSL over other Java web front frameworks like JSF, JSP, Servlets, Wicket, Spring MVC, Struts, Tapestry, Cocoon, Context Framework, and others:
Graphic design evolves in parallel with Java classes
Web front-end is an API at the same time
Static analysis of generated CSS and HTML is build automated
Layout is decoupled from data
many others… (to be continued)
This article explains how to create a working web application using ReXSL in five minutes: Quick Start Guide. s3auth.com is an open source web application that is build using ReXSL framework: see its code in github. Other projects that use ReXSL: expinia.com, netbout.com (email us to get into this list).
ReXSL pays a lot of attention to unit and integration testing. Actually, 80% of our code is for helping you to test your application. As soon as you understand how ReXSL works (and learn the technologies listed above), read this article: Introduction to ReXSL Testing.
Post us a message in our Google Newsgroup if you're interested or just curious what is it all about. Besides that, don't hesitate to submit a ticket to Github when something doesn't work or you need more features.

Sledgehammer brought an in-game character image from "Call of Duty 2014" to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last month.
The image, posted by IGN, shows what the developer of this year's Call of Duty claims to be "actual in-game characters".
"Call of Duty 2014" will be Sledgehammer's first full Call of Duty game. The studio was confirmed as an addition to the Call of Duty development rotation in February. It joins Treyarch and Infinity Ward.
Its addition the annual Call of Duty rotation means that Infinity Ward and Treyarch have longer to work on their own Call of Duty games.
Sledgehammer was founded by Michael Condrey and Glen Schofield who were previously at Visceral Games working on Dead Space.
Codemasters has unveiled Grid: Autosport, the third game in the Grid series that is coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC in June.
According to Codemasters, Grid: Autosport aims to move the series back in line as a more authentic racing game, and will harken back to some of its earlier titles in terms of content and handling.
PC is the game's lead platform.
H1Z1 isn't just a big-budget DayZ clone, says Sony Online Entertainment boss John Smedley.
In a Reddit thread comparing the two titles, Smedley acknowledged the similarities, but also sought to highlight some differences.
"Not going to give some politically correct dodgy [bullsh***] answer," said Smedley. "It is a survival in a Zombie Apocalypse game. So is DayZ. [Bohemia Interactive] have made a brilliant game (first I might add). They have a great vision for it and can count myself and most of the people on our team as fans and contributors."
BioWare's fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Inquisition launches on October 7 in the US and October 10 here, EA has announced.
A Digital Deluxe Edition of the game is available for pre-order, and it includes:
Skyhold Throne: Every ruler should sit in a place of high honor, but as the Inquisitor you will have the greatest of all, fashioned from an ancient dragon skull
The second season of The Walking Dead is coming to PlayStation Vita next week, Telltale Games has announced.
The game's first two episodes – 'All That Remains' and 'A House Divided' – will be available for download via PlayStation Store on Wednesday, April 23.
Each episode will be available for US$5 (local price to be confirmed), or players can save 20 percent by purchasing the Season Pass, which includes access to Episodes 1 through 5 as they become available.
Ubisoft will demonstrate a four player cooperative mode for Assassin's Creed Unity at E3 this year claims a tipster corroborated by sources at The Escapist.
According to these sources, Ubisoft will bring two demos of the upcoming stealth-action game to E3 in June. The first will feature a traditional singleplayer mode. The second will introduce a "narrative" four-player cooperative mode.
Ubisfot was forced to announce Assassin's Creed Unity prematurely after Kotaku leaked screenshots of the game in March.
Five million Xbox One consoles have been shipped to retail since launch, according to the latest data from research firm NPD.
However, the console's actual sales figures were not disclosed.
By contrast, last week it was revealed that more than seven million PlayStation 4 consoles have been sold to consumers. That console has led hardware sales in the US for three straight months.
UK developer Codemasters has teased a new entry in the GRID with a short teaser video posted to the franchise's YouTube channel.
The video video indicates that a fuller reveal will take place on April 22, tomorrow in the UK.
In a thread on NeoGAF, Codemasters added, "Just a heads up, this isn't DLC. Cockpit view? We listened."
Nate Wells, art director on The Last of Us and Uncharted 4, is the latest high profile departure from Naughty Dog.
Wells announced his departure over Twitter, and said he was moving to Unfinished Swan studio Giant Sparrow.
"Yes, I joined the wild, wacky, and ultimately brilliant folks at Giant Sparrow on April 3," he said.
Ubisoft is working on a new 2D Prince of Persia, reports a French gaming site.
Portail de Jeu Video claims that the game is being built on UbiArt, the same engine that powers the Rayman games, and the upcoming Child of Light. Using UbiArt, the developers are able to animate the Prince's 2D body as if it were 3D.
Various animations such as wall-jumps and sword attacks are already in place, claims Portail de Jeu Video.

Hotmail is the world's largest provider of free, Web-based e-mail. It is based on the premise that e-mail access should be easy and possible from any computer connected to the World Wide Web. Hotmail eliminates the disparities among e-mail programs by adhering to the universal Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) standard. More information is available at http://www.hotmail.com
The susceptibility of Microsoft Corp.'s MSN Hotmail to two cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks could allow attackers to infiltrate a targeted Hotmail user's e-mail account. Both attacks stem from incorrect or incomplete HTML filtering by Hotmail.
Issue One: Session Hijacking
While Hotmail does filter a number of HTML tags, it fails to filter the <textarea> tag. As such, an attacker could trick the Hotmail parser into treating a </textarea> tag as part of the literal value of a  background variable. Since the <textarea> tag does not rely on quotes and ends when it reaches a closing </textarea> tag, the attacker could insert
a JavaScript routine that would not be filtered.
The inserted routine could not contain any quotes, as Hotmail filters out such characters. This, however, could be overcome by using the String.fromCharCode() method, which converts an ASCII value to a string.
Issue Two: Arbitrary Action Execution
Hotmail does filter a number of variables, but it fails to filter the  background variable. Knowing this, an attacker could dupe a targeted user into opening an HTML-enabled e-mail to generate a GET request on a Hotmail server to execute an action. For example, Hotmail has filters in place that replace the following HTML:
<td width=1 height=1 bgcolor="
The HTML above is replaced with the following:
<td width=1 height=1 bgcolor=~
However, Hotmail does not properly filter URLs that are composed with backslashes. So the following HTML would filter incorrectly:
<td width=1 height=1 bgcolor="
The HTML above becomes:
<TD width=1 height=1 bgcolor=~
When the page loads, the code would generate a GET request to the specified URL. The URL is in the Hotmail domain, thus the user's cookie would transmit with the request. The Hotmail server would process the request and create a folder named HACKED.
Unlike most XSS attacks, which require a user to click on a tainted link, exploitation in this case only requires a Hotmail user to view a malicious e-mail. Sending the e-mail from a forged e-mail address affords a greater chance for successful exploitation. Once an attacker compromises one Hotmail user's account, the attacker could then use that account to compromise other e-mail accounts.
It is quite feasible for an automated worm to be written in such a way that it spreads through the enumeration of user address books. Such a worm would quickly propagate as future attack e-mails would arrive from known and trusted e-mail addresses.
Once a user's Hotmail cookie has been stolen, an attacker has the ability to gain full control over the user's account until the user logs out or the session times out. (Hotmail's default setting is to never timeout). During that time, an attacker could read, remove, and store all e-mails, as well as send e-mails from the compromised account.
The ability to execute arbitrary Hotmail actions allows an attacker to set any option that the targeted user could normally set under the Options menu. This includes redirecting all e-mail to the deleted folder and modifying the user's name or e-mail signature.
For further information on this class of attacks, refer to "The Evolution of Cross-Site Scripting Attacks," an iDEFENSE White Paper available at http://www.idefense.com/papers.html .
All Hotmail users were vulnerable to the above-descibred attacks before Microsoft resolved the issues.

Federal Work Study - Student Employment
Hiring students for work-study positions
The Federal Work-Study (FWS) program enables eligible students to acquire work-study jobs, the wages for which are largely funded by the federal government. FWS recipients find their own jobs on campus. Although FWS appears as part of a student's financial-aid package, earnings do not credit directly to the bursar; rather, the student earns a paycheck based on an hourly pay rate. Wages vary but are never below minimum wage.
FWS is a type of campus-based award. This means that federal funds are provided to individual universities to administer at their discretion (although always within federally governed parameters); FWS amounts and eligibility requirements may therefore vary from university to university.
According to the U.S. Department of Education, schools that make use of Federal Work-Study funding "must make FWS jobs reasonably available to all eligible students at the school." In assigning FWS jobs, a school must consider the number of hours per week the student can work, the period of employment, the anticipated wage rate and the amount of other assistance available to the student.
At ONU the Office of Financial Aid is primarily responsible for the administration of the work-study program. The Office of Human Resources is responsible for payment of wages for earned under the Federal Work-Study program. Together the two offices have established the following procedure (outlined in steps below) to ensure the program is administered appropriately.
It is not our intent or desire to make administration of the program cumbersome or burdensome to you in any way; rather it is our intent to ensure jobs are completed, students are employed, student wages are paid and the federal work study program is administered appropriately. To this end, your assistance is both invaluable and greatly appreciated.
All supervisors must read the attachments below on the student employment process and sign-off that they have read and understood the new student employment guidelines before they are eligible to hire student workers.
Please note: Human Resources understands that children of ONU employees may hold a student employment position on campus. While we allow the hiring of son/daughter, you cannot be an approver or proxy for your child.
Procedure for employing students at Ohio Northern University under the Federal Work-Study program.
- Students must be awarded financial aid to be employed in FWS positions on campus.
- All student employment positions will be posted with Polar Careers. The supervisor needs to go to www.onu.edu/careers and post their student employment job once their department decides they need student employees.
- Polar Careers will post the position and work with hiring managers to hire a student worker. The hiring manager will give Polar Careers the names and ID numbers of the students they want to hire.
- Once Polar Careers receives the names and ID's of the students they want to hire, they will forward the information onto Financial Aid for authorization.
- Financial Aid will forward the position and student information to Human Resources. Human Resources will verify that students have all the required documents turned in. Once this is verified, HR will enter the students into Self Service Banner so their timesheet shows up in Self Service Banner.
- Students will need to complete the required employment documents, found by clicking on the "Employee Forms" link on the right hand side. The required documents are:
- I-9 proof of eligibility (requires presentation of certain documents verifying identity. See forms I-9, available on line for applicable documents)
- W-4 Federal tax withholding
- IT-4 State tax withholding OR IT-4NR
- Direct-deposit information with voided check
- Personal data form
Students are paid on a bi-weekly basis in accordance with the Bi-Weekly Payroll Schedule. It is critical that all time worked is input and approved via Web time entry by the bi-weekly payroll deadline. Failure of the student to report and the supervisor to approve time via Web time entry by this deadline will delay the student being paid until the next pay cycle.

NAMPA -- For Camp Rainbow Gold, every little bit counts. The program brings happiness to children affected by cancer. It relies on donations and volunteer work to not only provide camps during the summer, but also events throughout the entire year.
A golf tournament was held at Ridgecrest Golf Course, with the proceeds all going to camp rainbow gold. A celebrity auction, a silent auction, and donations from those playing raised more than $4,000.
Camp Rainbow Gold not only supports kids battling cancer, but also their families who are also involved in the fight.

BYU-Idaho values suggestions and ideas that can improve the university.
Use our Feedback Form to let us know what you think.
Get to know the teachers who will present at Education Week.
Whitworth received her Bachelor's of Business Management and her Associate's of Applied Sciences in Culinary Arts, from BYU-Idaho
As an adjunct faculty member at BYU-Idaho she had the opportunity to teach basic baking techniques to university students and had her eyes opened not only to the positive aspect that learning to confidently cook has on young adults, but also to the importance of the skill to basic living.
As a mother of four she has come to understand the importance of nutrition for children at all stages of life as well as the importance of teaching them in the home about cooking, food preparation, where our food comes from and how to grow their own food.
Having a husband diagnosed with Celiac Disease (an intolerance to wheat, barley, and rye) has presented not only the opportunity for her to become a self motivated researcher for food allergies, but a food scientist in her own kitchen.
Whitworth was diagnosed with pre-diabetes in February 2012, and has researched the disease thoroughly as well as the causes and processes for reversal. She has successfully used the knowledge she gained about foods, diet, and exercise to successfully reverse her symptoms and achieve optimal health and physical fitness.
As a family of six—mom, dad, two boys and two girls, the Whitworth's are the classic family. They love to play together on God's playground—the mountains, lakes, National Parks, and in their own backyard. They love music (especially belting out Disney songs), snuggling in the cool basement with a good movie and dad's kettle corn, gardening, jumping on the trampoline, and have a closet full of well used board games.
Whitworth is a self-motivated researcher. She enjoys traditional research with a theory, uncountable library visits and stacks of books with pages marked, medical and other professional journals all tagged on the computer, and finding conclusions and answers about things she wants to know the truth about—including gospel topics.
Piano playing and singing are hobbies that have blessed her family and the church.
She enjoys recreational running and she even has several races under her belt.

Neighborhoods: Point Breeze North
Better than our last place – I've had good success here with boarding. My dog seems happy and healthy when I pick him up, and when we go (he's boarded there 4-5 times) he doesn't seem to mind being there when we walk inside. I've had both good and okay experiences with grooming. Twice the results were terrific, but the last time my dog's coat was cut rather short, something I did not request and was surprised that any groomer would do without it being requested. My dog is an often-brushed Sheltie, so has a lot of fur, but wasn't matted or tangled. When I mentioned my dismay, the groomer told me "it needed to happen". I disagree, but think they treat the dogs well there.
Grooming – I have been a long standing customer of Golden Bone.
I find the staff very helpful, and I insist on a man named Michael Hunter to groom my animals. I would highly recommend!!
UNREAL! – I've been a fan of the Golden Bone Pet resort for a while now, however my last experience was not only disappointing but rather disturbing.
After 5+ years of service with the Golden Bone it came to an end for my dog and me. I dropped my dog off with simple directions for a grooming/cut (like the past years). After picking him up, my dog was shaking (not that unusual for the breed but concerning). When we got home he started vomiting.The dog was also completely SHAVEN. I understand that mistakes happen so I wanted to express my concern for the dog's well-being and the bad grooming, the staff was very understanding.
The staff ( who was helpful ) guided me to the owner for a refund. The owner did not give the refund, he approached me in a very militant tone (in front of other customers) about the fact that there are NO REFUNDS, and THINGS HAPPEN o well.
Not sure what's going on there but not the quality that I am used to receiving. The treatment by the owner was very disrespectful and disturbing. Not sure if he had a bad day but that was enough for me to never take my dog there again.
Golden Bone - Appropriate name!! – I don't typically share my opinion about stuff, but I care about pets. Amazingly, my ole 9yo dog really loves The Golden Bone Pet Resort. He seemed to want to stay there when I picked him up after 4 days. That's funny! His behavior after the stay was excellent & he clearly had good sleep during his stay which is very encouraging. Nails trimmed, smooth combed coat too!! Clearly he got a free bath and grooming. I was delighted with the basic package, pricing and treatment. Almost a dozen other places I tried in the area have been terribly traumatic for my pet. Well....no more cancelled Vacations. Will go back...maybe just for the complementary grooming. I drove there from Ross based upon a personal recommendation. Totally worth it. Can't be beat in Greater Pgh!!
Golden Bone is golden for me! – I have been a customer of the Golden Bone for over 10 years! They have had total consistency in their staff...even more than I thought when I looked at their website recently. Amazing stats for a boarding and grooming facility!! Any place where the staff is that loyal is a terrific testimonial to me that they love pets! They treat every dog and cat like they are special and don't guilt you into purchasing "extra" playtime. I love that!
*Added bonus---they don't charge you for the day your pet checks out no matter what time you arrive.
The all time best kennel – I've boarded several of my pets at the Golden Bone over the last 15 years, always with great results. David Anderson and his staff have always been there for my pets. Recently I had a death in my family and had to leave my dog Sasha at the Bone. When I returned 1 week later I was told there was no charge for this visit. I asked David about it and he said, "We' don't profit from our customer's misfortunes." That says it all!

Starting the build for my concession trailer. Ahhh, The joys of learning
Wed, 01/16/13 12:52 AM
Hi everyone. I have been reading this forum for quite some time and figured I would share what I am up to. I have been catering events for the last 15 years, along with a full time job. I have wanted to open a restaurant for quite some time, but I want to start with a concession trailer as a way for me to get my name and product out there besides the catering world, and before I build my brick and mortar.
I am starting the build on my concession trailer. First of all, this trailer is definitely
one of a kind,
(I cannot do things like everyone else is any area of my life), but this of course, leads to having to find custom fabricators. For example, even the standard stuff, such as 3 compartment sink with 2 drainboards, (required by metro Nashville HD), has to be a custom size for this build, so more cost. We are also having to fabricate items that cannot really be purchased anywhere.
It is definitely an eye opener, but once I am able to show the completed build, everyone will totally understand why. When this baby pulls up with other food trucks and trailers, it is going to definitely stand out. I could have went the traditional route and bought a step van, or prebuilt concession trailer, but curb appeal, a niche, or any way to set yourself apart can give you that edge. My food has always been a hit and has made me quite a bit of money, but looks and style can only help in a world that is all about appearance and flash. Add substance and you can have a winner.
I am learning a lot from you all. Thanks for the knowledge. I have already avoided a few possible boo-boos from reading this forum. I will post build pics when we get closer to go time. Cannot wait for you all to see it.

I looked at a couple trucks when in nashville last summer and they didn't have special sinks. We can get away with a 3 compartment sink and a metrorack shelf mounted above as a drainboard. I litterally saw 1 truck that the drain system for the sink had fallen off and was laying on the floor, pretty trashy looking truck and he was downtown serving..

Why the custom sink?you can get them i just about any size.
Also have you ran the trailer plans pass the HD?If not I would first thing.they can tell you what you have to have and were you have to put it to get approved.otherwise you may have to gut it after the build to set it up the way they want it.Some places are really picky to the point they tell you what color the floors and walls have to be!REALLY!
